Out of the Box Bathroom Lighting Ideas

Bathroom lighting is essential. At times you need just ambient lighting, while at times, you want a dimmed atmosphere for a cozy bath. Choosing the lights right for your bathroom can make a real difference. Also, nowadays, interior designers do not necessarily follow any clean and rigid lines that go perfectly with the décor style of a room. For example, a beautiful reproduction antique light will look mesmerizing in a modern décor bathroom, a vintage one, a classical one, and so on. To go with such choices, your home does not have to be decorated in a historically-inspired accent. Making elements somehow clash in the décor will only highlight the beauty of a space. So think outside the box.

For example, a classic-style bathroom with a wooden vanity and a generally toned-down décor will become instantly lavish if you use a crystal chandelier as the centerpiece. Traditional décor looks fantastic when you add a twist of sophistication and elegance and a piece of décor that does not fit there but fits especially at the same time. Then, reproduction antique light sources such as antique sconces hanging above an oversized mirror will bring an unexpected touch of flair to your bathroom. Choose a nuance that contrasts with the primary color of your bathroom furniture to make the space pop with color and highlight the beauty of the antique sconces.

Hanging lanterns also look fantastic when added over a vanity. You can frame a traditional mirror with wooden frames with two metallic hanging lanterns of your liking. You will instantly feel the elegance and lavish note you have just created in your bathroom. Iron finish lanterns are incredibly ornate with filigree details, and they look beautiful, especially in a bathroom that is simple in décor.

If you want a more playful atmosphere in a tiny bathroom, you can add colored lampshades on each side of the mirror. Choose soft-colored shades that do not block light too much to get maximum light. You would still need a more powerful light from the fixture above the mirror.
